By regulation all product specific MSDS have to be generated by the manufacturer. BTW the UN has a program that is being implemented in the US to convert MSDS form to SDs which is more like Europe “harmonized” and has a different rating system. It is an “SDS”.

All of my information is decades old. Thank you for the update. I'll need to study up.

Unfortunately, the SDS system is about the chemical, not the product. It does NOT tell anything about the specific concentration in THAT product. Look at the comparison. For example, the SDS for Sodium Hypochlorite will be for a range between 5% and 14%, while a proper MSDS will tell you exactly what is in that product's mix of ingredients. With the European standard you will get multiple SDS for each ingredient, but no information on any of those ingredients' concentrations in that product. Whoopee. That's what I am finding with the Clorox SDS page. You get multiple pages of SDSs for each product, with lots of extraneous safety information, what emergency personnel need to know, etc., but nothing about concentrations in what you've got in your hand.
